from "Printers and Printing in Providence, 1762 - 1907" prepared by a committee of Providence Typographical Union #33 as a souvenir of the 50th anniversary of its institution printed in 1907 "The Journeymen" (part 161) pp. LXXIII - LXXIV. "EDWARD B. ROSE - Born East Greenwich, R. I., in 1842; he attended the public schools in Bristol and began to learn printing in the office of the Phoenix of that town in 1857; on becoming a journeyman he worked in Fall River, Mass., on the News; in Dover, N. H., on the Gazette, and in Providence on the Post and Evening Press, joining No. 33 Jan. 11, 1862. In 1863 he enlisted in the navy and was appointed hospital steward on the sloop-of-war Vandalia; he resigned in 1864, shipped again as landsman, was promoted to doctor's steward, and served until July 11, 1865. He then returned to the printing trade and Providence, and became foreman of the Herald. In 1872, when the Boston Globe was started, he accepted the position of assistant foreman on that paper. Before leaving the Herald he was presented with a solid gold chain and a Masonic keystone with the Masonic emblems of the various degrees he had passed through. In 1873 he returned to the foremanship of the Herald, and in the spring of that year, when the paper suspended, he went to the Journal. In three weeks he was made assistant foreman and later foreman, holding the latter position about 16 years. In 1889, on account of sickness, he became a day assistant, which position he now holds. In the 34 years of his work on the Journal he has handled nearly all the advertisements that have been published in that paper, especially the 'legals,' and with very few errors. Mr. Rose is an honorary member of St. John's Lodge, No. 1, A. F. and A. M., of Portsmouth, N. H.; Providence Royal Arch Chapter of Masons; Providence Lodge, K. of H.; Calvary Commandery, K. T.; Westminster Lodge of Odd Fellows; honorary member of Daughters of Rebekah Lodge. LESTER E.

In 1894 he returned to Webster and was editor of the Times for six years; in 1890 returned to Boston and worked on the Journal, where he learned to operate the linotype; soon after he received a civil service appointment for the Government Printing Office at Washington, where he is now located.
